IEEEP ,Student Symposium
I believe our final year project is a sign of a good omen for us. Our Technical paper which revolves around our project got approved for presentation and we were bestowed with the opportunity to show the spark at the IEEEP symposium . Here is the rest of the story................
As i uncover my watch , it shows 9:55 am. Almost all the presenters have showed up in the auditorium arena. Some complaining for their papers not being approved,some asking directions to the washroom,some lost in a deep thought. Atlast the comperes show up ; make their way to the stage announcing to the audience to take their seats.
The chief guest opens the event ,followed by a key note by the Dean of CiviL Dept.
-----------------We get a 15 min Tea break to refresh ourselves-----------------------------
Now comes the moment we've been awaiting for . The first five presenters are called on the stage including me.Lights are dimmed , the projector splashes it's image on the screen. We're good to go............................
It's been 30 mins since the presentation started.I look at my watch.Can hardly see my wrist in the dark. I'll be the next one to take on the audience . At last the presenter concludes . I head off towards the podium in a blaze of applause. Heh wont comment on how my presentation went .I'll leave this to the attendees to criticize. I remember this guy wearing a blue shirt , who actually browsed through my presentation reacting promptly to my actions.I call him Mr Steward . The presentation goes well , i make my final point and conclude the presentation.Mr Steward waves a thumbs up :) . The hall is filled with claps as i move towards the desk...........
And here i am blogging away . Did I Rock ? Hmm that still remains unanswered.
